Green Holiday Wrapping Ideas

by Kat Maudru,posted Dec 1 2010 8:47AM

Want to make your holidays greener? How about making your own wrapping paper! Most mass-produced wrapping paper you find in stores is not recyclable and ends up in landfills. Instead, here's a great chance to get creative! Wrap presents with old maps, the comics section of a newspaper, or children's artwork. Or use a scarf, attractive dish towel, bandana, or some other useful cloth item. If every family wrapped just three gifts this way, it would save enough paper to cover 45,000 football fields!
